This is not so OOTB in terms of processing or any special effect. In fact, less post-processing was used than in my normal workflow.
It's simply a photo of a bird which ignores most of the usual objectives for avian images:
The bird's head (beak and eyes) are not really a part of the image.
Light sources are mostly not behind the photographer
The perch and bg are both fairly obviously man-made.
Composition is pretty much centered tho still somewhat asymmetric.
And there is some unrepaired CA which somehow works for me as is.
Kenn and Temple, Big Welcome to OOTB! Very nice first post! I love the back-view. Beautiful details and colors and I think the framing works well for this shot.
